JSM'S BEGGING FOR BANNING THREAD #4

[trimmonthelake]

Gotta walk the dog before the Messiah descends.   

[Fanny Mae]

Thanks TRIMM, that lays it out in plain speach and makes it easy to understand.  I am getting more scared by the day, and not much scares me. Glen Beck lays it all out too, and this is just a the tip of the iceberg, and we are going down fast. Things are happening in the background, that are downright creepy. The whole thing is so insideous and back door, you can't even see it.

It seems plain that we are not going to get help from our elected representatives. And there is no hero to ride in and save us. There is only one thing I can think of, and it ain't gonna be pretty.   

[no rose colored glasses]

I'm so mixed up with all this health care talk  I think it is deliberate that people have a hard time understanding.

No Rose it is deliberate. These freaks haven't even READ the d*mn bill, they just want to push it through. Tonight O will say we (you and I) won't lose our insurance coverage, blah, blah blah. He will say what he wants us to hear and people to believe. His disapproval rating on healthcare I believe is at 52% right now. He is going down hill fast and I hope he slides even further. Not with just healthcare, the bailouts, etc, he has now changed the Rule of Engagement for our military in Afghanistan and it is getting our guys killed. Had they stayed as they were, many more would be alive today. That is why I hate that man. He is the "commander" in chief. A true Commander would give our guys a way to WIN a war. JMO JSM

Now I am walking Josef and taking the magical cough medicine. I have decided that I "may" quit smoking. If so, I will be the fattest figure skater you have ever seen in your life.  Maybe I can be on tv "ELEPHANTS ON ICE" 

I'm drinking my magical peppermint tea for my stomach, I have considered stopping smoking, and that is as far as I get  I suppose we should stop, but it is scary to think about it.

  Thanks Trimm for the definitions of the terms. It doesn't matter what I think, they will do whatever they want anyway, I'm not going to be happy until I see Pelosi go, that might help, that big mouth I'm sure will be babbling later. I can't watch this speech

It is a lonely feeling.

We made a beer run. I don't know whether it will make it better or worse.

This may help understand somew of the terms you hear.   
Health Care 101: Terms and Phrases That Have Defined the Health Care Debate
Confused by all the health care jargon? FOXNews.com breaks down the terminology in advance of President Obama's primetime address on health care.

Co-op
A non-profit health cooperative, or "co-op," is a member-owned group that assembles a network of salaried medical providers and negotiates payment rates with them. Membership is voluntary; consumers decide whether a co-op's costs, coverage, provider networks and other features are superior to those of private plans. Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., a key member of the Senate Finance Committee, first proposed the idea of a co-op alternative to a public health insurance plan.

Public option
A public option, or "nationalized plan," is a government-run, government-funded health insurance option offered as an alternative to private insurance companies. Obama has said a public option will make health care more affordable, because people would pay premiums 10 to 20 percent less than they would in a private insurance plan.

Private insurance
Health coverage provided by companies like Blue Cross Blue Shield, GHI, and United Health care.

"Single payer"
A term used to describe a system that would collect all health care fees and pay out all health care costs. This type of financing system has been proposed to eliminate administrative waste, because it would force doctors and hospitals to bill one entity for services -- rather than several private insurance companies that have different billing procedures.
"Trigger"
Some Democrats, like Sen. Max Baucus, have proposed a so-called "trigger" in the health care reform legislation, which would keep a government plan on reserve in case private insurers don't meet certain benchmarks.

Medicare and Medicaid
Medicare is a government-backed program for seniors 65 years or older. Medicaid is a health option for low-income individuals and families.

"Socialized" medicine
Critics of Obama's health care reform, like Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele, have called the idea of a public option "socialist" -- meaning the option would drive private insurers out of business and create a government-regulated system that provides health care for all. Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary defines "socialism" as "any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods."

"Rationing" care
Critics charge that a government-run health insurance system would lead to health care "rationing" -- meaning that care would be given according to need. Obama has countered this charge, saying the "public option" will provide greater access to health care.

Health insurance exchange
A phrase used to describe a "marketplace" for various health care options -- including a government plan -- that will increase competition.

Doughnut hole
A gap in coverage for seniors within the defined standard benefit under the Medicare Part D prescription drug program. The doughnut hole requires seniors to pay full cost for drug prescriptions after they reach a spending limit.

Electronic records
The Obama administration has called for all records to be computerized within the next five years as a way to modernize the health care system and lower costs.

Thanks Trimm.

Before my magical meds kick in

Electronic Records (EMR), MOST if not ALL Healtcare providers use them now, so that is not a BIG Obama thing. Hillary pushed that back in the day.

Socialized and Public Option Basically the same thing, they are both run by the goverment.

Co op Basically the same as an HMO or an IPA, which didn't work back during the Clinton years.

I can go on about this, but this is the USA. What happened to free enterprise?

If the goverment takes control of healthcare, they can tell you what to do, when to do it and if you don't meet the guidelines of their little tick sheet. YOU won't get treatment.

Yes I have a dog in this fight, I work for doctors. I also see how we help out indigent people that don't have money to pay for their bills. I have a doctor that works at a free clinic on his off hours.

I had an elderly lady come in today worried about her bill going to collections. I made sure she was okay, told her that it was possible the bill didn't get to her and most of all made sure she was taken care of and not upset that she had possibly missed a payment. It happens.

Obama makes the doctors and insurance companies out to be the bad people (insurance companies I have a problem with sometimes) but the doctors are on the side of the patients or at least where I work we are.

Sorry for the rant JMO JSM

Red, pink and peach in various hues seems to be the new colors for bit*es in the capitol. .......

[Fanny Mae]

My doctors group has been the same way, they work with their patients. Who knows, after this how their hands are going to be tied. 

[Fanny Mae]

O is standing in the shadows getting ready to walk in, and my hair just stood up on the back of my neck and on my arms. OMG!!!

I hope you are feeling better No Rose. My mom also says that I wouldn't have gut trouble if I quit smoking.  I would also look be one of those people that they have to carve out the door to get them out of the house when the ambulance comes.

I will think about quitting tomorrow.

I think I am talking to myself.......
